U.S. Aircraft Carriers

This account of U.S. carrier development, based on the internal files of the U.S. Navy, presents a complete evolutionary design history at a level of detail and accuracy never before approached. The author, a recognized authority on U.S. warships, uncovers the issues behind the emergence of today`s carrier, explaining the reasons for the periodic but always aborted attempts to trim back its dimensions.
